Yea but..

I mentioned Emerald, which is now specualted as Vanguard/Vision. The screen size thing was secondary. I really meant that thier letting themselves fall to the iPhones front facing camera when they had one first! When was the last time they made a respectable device with a front camera? Not since the TP2 I say....
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Maybe I'm missing something here, but...I'm not sure how the lack of a slider and front facing camera in your portfolio equates to 'falling behind'. I mean, aside from the lack of a secondary camera, HTC phones generally have among the highest specs in the market, and usually very good design.

Additionally, as you yourself mentioned, HTC used to release sliders and secondary camera smartphones constantly. Today, a large number of their smartphones have opposing designs -- this generally suggests to me that HTC found this much more profitable than their design of the past.
[XPERIA X10 General] fogozito:
Hi guys I used to have an X1 but got replaced by the motorola cliq, yesterday I saw the X10 and I falled in love, the awesome desing and the gorgeous screen.

I have been doing some research and the specs seems very good ,Here in mexico the X10 is my only other choice for an android phone.

I dun care about the timescape app, ill just wait for a clean 2.1 or 2.2, now that the X10 is rooted is only matter of time for a custom ROM, the X10 seems a major upgrade from my Cliq, the only thing that ill miss is the physical keyboard and I love the XDA community a lot, my experiences with them when I had the X1 was awesome.

Now the questions.

The X10 is worth? I have seems some benchmarks and it apears to be kinda slow,it lags? I have seen videos but I prefer to ask peole that use the phone everyday.(this can change with a new firmware)

Some people have described the X10 the worst android experience ever why?

The timescape app is it cool? Is better than motoblur?

I haven't had a chance to grab the phone, is is heavy? How does it feel in the hand?

Thanks guys for reading this and for helping me to clear my mind.
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
is X10 worth? i am not sure the price in your country but in my country is better than worth compare to other phones : with this spec i guess x10 is quite cheap now.

the X10 the worst android experience? I don't get it, even before the .20 firmware upgrade it's not so unacceptable, now on the .20 firmware i guess the only lag i experiencing is lock screen.

Timescape is a cool app, you can have a "via Sony Ericsson X10"+ SE logo while posting facebook , and i think this is all the Timescape cool about:D

If you own a X1 then i guess you'll feel X1 much more heavier than X10, that's what i feel. and the feel in hand actually not really big...for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi. It is a much better phone now that the latest firmware has been released. I rarely see any lag now. I'm not a fan of timescape, but not a big social networking user. Timescape is a great idea which needs better integration. Running on 1.6 isn't a major problem and 2.1 is due out in the next couple of months. The phone itself feels great in the hand (I've got the black one with the rubberised back). The screen is excellent and the camera is about as good as you can get on a mobile phone.

It's not the most advanced handset (but probably has the capability to be the best), but it's certainly the best looking one.
[Nexus One General] datboycuong:
As stated in the title, going to be coming back to The Nexus One from The HTC EVO.

The EVO is a VERY nice phone but combined with Sprint's noticeably slower 3G and spotty 4G service, it goes to say that no matter how nice the phone, if the service sucks it's not worth it.

Luckily I am well within my 30 Day Trial period with Sprint.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
I'm not sure if I should congratulate you on coming back to the good side or disown you for leaving the Nexus One in the first place?

[EVO 4G General] VSack:

If I shut everything off on my phone and only use it for texting, I bet I can get some pretty sick times out of it too.

Automated task killers are still bad. I strongly suggest people don't run them.

[Droid Incredible General] Eskimo_Joe:
Is there some way to "trick" skype into running over wifi instead of just 3g? It's annoying to have to turn off wifi and kill more battery when I have a perfectly good internet connection nearby. I remember there being tweaks like this available for the iphone and wondered if there's something similar available or in the works.

**Note: I wasn't sure whether to put this in the apps/themes section or development since it can fit in either, so I apologize in advance if there's any issue with this thread location
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
It should just work over wifi if you turn 3G off. Not sure what you mean about turning wifi off to use it on wifi?

Also, this would belong in general i don't know how this would relate to development at all...
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Haven't used the official Skype app lately, have ya.
[Droid Incredible General] Eskimo_Joe:
If you had an Incredible on Verizon you'd know that they restrict Skype usage to their data network, and that when opening it you must first disable wifi. And it can relate to development because there might need to be a workaround that needs to be "developed", which should be easier with root access I'd imagine.
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
I do actually have an incredible on Verizon seeing as that's the only network for this phone...

I misunderstood your wording for switching on and off the mobile network and wifi network. Just booted up skype mobile and noticed the message you were talking about,

"Skype mobile does not currently work on WiFi and requires witching to a Verizon Wireless data network connection. This may affect other apps using a WiFi connection."

That's pretty lame. Haven't heard any workarounds for that so far.

Lol no I haven't, I downloaded it and used it once but since it doesn't support video I saw no real use for it.

Edit: Found some more information on the situation at hand - http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Verizon-Skype-Client-Apparently-Disables-Android-WiFi-107895
[Droid Incredible General] Eskimo_Joe:
Thanks for the article. It sounds weird though about there being a glitch, kinda like the GPS issues on the pre plus with verizon. I don't get why the iphone can do would over both wifi and 3g but us android users are left in the dust. Hopefully this exclusivity expires soon and we get a fully functional client. So much for "Droid does" I guess

why not u use the Wi Fi router option. make your S200 as the wifi router and share yout GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA to your MAC using wifi? that way it should be easier.

[Desire General] bradavon:
I've been looking at the root folder using Astro and there are several files/folders. Can any be deleted, without causing any problem? I'm running out of space and am hoping some are just temporary files etc...

For example I've spotted the APK files are in \system\app. I never use the Peep or Teeter apps. Can I safely delete their APK files?

Thanks

p.s - I am using an unrooted HTC Desire.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
you cant delete them using astro, we only have write access to /system in recovery, use adb in recovery to delete them :)

edit, without root you cant delete anything lol
[Desire General] foxmeister:
In addition, deleting anything from /system won't actually gain you any more space for applications anyway due to the way that the filesystems are partitioned.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks guys. I take it you mean we've got write but not modify access to the \system folder? So we can write to existing files but not delete them.

I wasn't just asking about \system though but any files/folders in the Root folder. Are there any at all, that can be safely deleted? Or are you saying you cannot delete a thing without rooting?

Not that it sounds like it will make any difference, due to partitioning.

Thanks
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Ok to put it as simple as possible:

- no you cant pretty much delete a thing apart from sd without root

- we cant do anything in the system partition while the system is booted due to the nand protection

- we can modify /system while in recovery (using adb)

- when you are running out of space it is on the /data partition, which have a fixed size so deleting from /system or anything else won't help

And at last my advice to you is to go root and install a2sd :) easy as pie and i've never had space problems since.
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks for the informative reply mortenmhp :)
[Desire General] jontokyo:
I have just rooted my 2.1 Desire, trying to remove two of the mms.apk and one other mms file in the /system folder so I can install a different mms.apk, however when I try to do it, it says I dont have the proper permissions. Its rooted, I see the Super User icon in applications.

Any suggestions?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Please read a little before asking questions. It is commonly known, that we dont have full root access on the desire yet.

Due to the nand protection you cant edit the system partition while the system is bootet. You have to use a custom recovery image either via fakeflash or installed by unrevoked. Then you can edit the system partition by using adb commands.

Edit: which i also stated quite clearly 2 posts above yours several months ago
[Desire General] bradavon:
Is A2SD better than the Android 2.2 implementation? Which as far as I can tell just moves the APK (not apps/data) to the SD Card.

Thanks.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Well it is kinda off topic here but in my opinion yes it is better. I'm running a2sd+ atm. and you can make it move /data/data as well.

In froyo there have been some complications though when remountingSD after using it as mass storage. But you can read more about that elsewhere(i would provide a link but I'm writing from my phone)

So the conclusion must be that it is down to personal preferences :-)
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks because the official implementation is something of a cop out. On WM you could run the entire App/Data etc... on an SD card.

[Streak 5 General] StarLog:
My bad for not stating I was interested in T-Mobile 3G.

Isn't that the 1700/2100 HSPDA band? Did not see that in the tech specs.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
The 2100 frequency should work on 3G worldwide, right? I also asked a representative in chat if the Streak will be sold unlocked on their website and the answer is "we don't know yet, check back when the product is actually on the market".
[Streak 5 General] StarLog:
I did not know what was exact, until I read this below

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/07/dell-streak-with-tmobile-3g-bands-out-in-the-wild.html
[Streak 5 General] Otsego.wupiwupi:
I'm sorry if I am repeating information, but I thought I would explain in case anyone else was wondering.

UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA are 3G technologies, so yes its defintiely 3G.

The 2100 MHz support should help the dell Streak work in countries other than the US and on networks other than AT&T. BUT, keep in mind that this will not work with T-Mobile's 3g network.

T-mobile uses 1700/2100, but the 2100 here on the dell shouldn't help much, because the 2100 is used for downloading while the 1700 band is used for uploading, and I'm pretty sure you can't use 3G download without 3G upload connected too. So if a carrier outside the US has a similar setup as T-mobile USA, with the split upload and download bands, then you could find yourself without 3G on that network too.

can someone point me in the right direction to find away to just make a

but i cant find it by google ,unless im wording it wrong, thanx for any help
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Do you want the update-script to wipe for them or do you want the update to not require a wipe at all?

If you want to automate the wipe, I believe that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=641223 has the answer.

format CACHE:

format DATA:

I've never tried it, but it seems like that would do the trick!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ill check that out thanx ,, im lookin for a way to update without a wipe
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Based on my work over the last few months most update-scripts are no wipe by default. unless you have the lines gnarlyc mentioned the data/ folder will remain untouched and all user data and apps will stay in place.

A few points that may be helpful that I ran into:

You DO want to force a dalvik-cache wipe by adding

delete_recursive DATA:dalvik-cache/

When you run "format system:" the system/ dir is wiped so any changes/customizations the user has made here will be go away or be overwritten

CaynogenMod ported a nice first boot shell script to check permissions on all of the apps after the update that is a good idea to run. You can find a copy of the script and an example of how to initiate it in may latest xtrROM3.0.3 (I tried to comment code fairly well so others can follow :D)

Hope this helps...
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Good info!

The backuptool.sh backs up any Google apps that are installed on the current ROM before flashing the new ROM. It then restores them. That's due to the C&D that Cyanogen received from Google. It works really well. Honestly, it's not a bad idea for every ROM to do this as a preemptive thing, in my opinion. Opinions vary though!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Doh! Did not see this post and just took a look at the backuptool.sh myself and updated the brakedown of the updater-script... I agree that this IS a nice tool!

So here is a question... CyanogenMod ROMs and the last update from Verizon have an update-binary and updater-script NOT an update-script file.

What is the differance and can I just replace the update-binary and updater-script WITH an update-script? Will look to test soon...
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Wondered that myself. Not enough to actually do any research/testing, but I have wondered... :) Well, actually, I've wondered the opposite. Can we drop in the update-binary and updater-script in a ROM that just has a update-script? The updater-script seems to have more options.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ill try that right now and let u know what happens

EDIT: well this is what happened ,

i deleted the update-binery

flash , couldnt find update

changed updater script to update script

got this

E:syntax error in script (i quess im suppose to change something ? ) install aborted

i dont know what im suppose to add or change but the way i did it ,, it didnt work
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
That makes since...

Try keeping the binary put my content in the updater-script and just don't include the update-script

[Captivate General] jojorios:
Well I've been a long time user of WinMo and Iphones. The android world is all new to me. I have a few questions that hopefully are quick to answer:

1) Has anyone used the tethering that came built into the phone? That seems to be the only one that works for me. I tried PDAnet but I can't get it to work. But has anyone noticed that the internet is very slow when tethering?

2) I have rooted the phone and would like to remove some of the AT&T bloatware and what not but before I do, how easy is it to restore the phone back to factory? is it a matter of just using the restore to defaults option? Depending on my experience i may or may not return the phone in the 30 days.

3) Does anyone suggest a nice fast IM program. I'm using Palringo but there seems to be a nice big lag in between switching from buddy lists to chats.

Hi all,

I'm working on reserve engineering libcamera for Tattoo, based on libcamera2 by NCommander. Thanks to nopy for many help.

HTC have changed a lot in their kernel, and left LOTS of useless or temporary codes not to be cleaned up. Right now, camera codes in the kernel are very clean and tidy and mainly ported from AOSP-donut kernel. Interfaces of /dev/msm_camera/control0, config0, and frame0 are successfully generated. As you know, HTC kernel implemented the /dev/msm_camera/msm_camera0 interface to communicate with requests from user space. I'm not sure why HTC did such a hack. The reason why I ported camera codes from AOSP-donut relies on the fact that most of camera working ROMs for other headsets like Dream or Sapphire did this, even if these ROMs are powered by 2.6.32 or even 2.6.34 kernels.

I've sticked to HTC camera driver in the kernel. Please check out my github.

Here is the explanation of the relationship between libcamera, libqcamera and the kernel, written by NCommander.

This is my first step to reserver engineering work on libcamera. Camera does NOT work yet.

The current logcat and klogtail have been attached here, Donut version as well. Thanks to MrGland, salva.tejero, and kicmi.

If anyone is interested in hacking for Tattoo, just let know. I'll invite you to cooperate with us.

Regards,
